Herzog tasks Eisenkot with forming coalition as Netanyahu pushes unity talks

President Isaac Herzog has tasked former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot with exploring coalition formation options, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu simultaneously calls for a ‘unity government’ while maintaining support from his current allies. The move comes amid signals that Haredi parties may distance themselves from Netanyahu, with some political figures suggesting the Likud could join an Eisenkot-led coalition without far-right members. The path to government formation remains uncertain with competing coalition strategies underway.
